  Posted by Neill Hague on 26 July 2006 at 15:22

  Hi

  Can anybody recommend a strong adhesive tape for hemming banners
  i have 10 to make for a scaffolder who wants sleeves top & bottom for sliding the poles through.

  So needs to be quite a strong adhesive

  thanks

  think its called corribind from europoint, I used some this week and it seems to work very well.

  on a similar note does anyone know if its ok to just hem mesh banners or should they be stitched too?

  cheers

  I used corribond on a small banner flag and it didn’t last too long.

  BannerBond from B & P is good, we buy it buy the box, have used it on mesh as well and was fine.

  No, just used the tape (however, we do eyelet the edges, so in this instance we made a pocket, and an eyelet each side as the tape has been known to separate in the past, that way it just strengthens the joins).

  Chris.
